FAMU fan is getting
tired of the promises

A loss to Howard? Come on.

Perhaps Coach Joe Taylor doesn't realize this is the last year of his contract. I really like this guy, but it's obvious that we need a change at the helm. After two straight weeks of one last shot at victory, it's just a bit too much to take. There's no creativity on offense, no running game, and Rattler Nation is tired of looking forward to "next year" only to be disappointed all over again.

Coach Taylor is the highest-paid head coach at any HBCU, and that means he is expected to win.

But we have yet to make the FCS playoffs. It's almost as if he is so loyal to his assistants that even though they are not getting the job done he refuses to change. Now we are 2-4. What a bummer. Support is in direct proportion to success. Where's the success?

We need new and young blood.

The talent seems to be there, but the coaching is lacking.

Sorry, Coach, but it's time to say so long.

Seminoles need to play
as if they want to win

I'm so glad that FSU football never lets its fans down. Oh wait, it does.

Each year we start out confident, only to be defeated. Perhaps the biggest reason is the lack of heart and soul in a game until the victory is in jeopardy. Take this heartbreaking loss of our No. 3 Seminoles against unranked N.C. State. Not one single point in the second half.

The arrogance of expecting a shutout caused our bright season to fade. Not to say that N.C. State is not a respectable team, but it's inexcusable that our team didn't pull out the win. Unfortunately, we fans are used to these disappointments. Some may say it is easier said than done, since obviously I am just a fan, but this is their job. They are playing for Florida State University and Seminole pride. We are all hurt when they let us down like this past Saturday, and I speak for all FSU fans when I say it is time for a change. Get it together 'Noles. We are better than this.

Thanks to TPD officer
for his bravery

I want to thank the Tallahassee Police Department for finding and arresting a dangerous fugitive Sunday morning while I was sleeping. I hope mine is only one of many shows of appreciation TPD gets.

And I hope Officer Sam Gereg is recognized for his bravery. We've seen the bad guy's picture - now can we see a picture of Officer Sam?
